Gauge Bulb Cap/Socket (PC194?)
« on: June 08, 2015, 03:32:00 pm »

Hello.

I am behind my inst cluster. I need a few of the little twist-in cap/sockets that hold and connect the bulb to the PCB.

At auto stores would it be called part number "PC194"? Does that fit our trucks? Can I find OEM, or does it really matter?

It's difficult to know just how much you don't know until you know it.
In other words... if people learn by making mistakes, by now I should know just about everything!!!

Don't go with led! They require a second ground! I know, I tried them.

Do go with LED. I have done my complete gauge cluster in deep purple LED and everything works perfectly. The thing about LED is that it is one way install. If it does't work  the first time you put it on, then take out and turn it 180 degrees and reinstall. Highly recommended painting the rear housing and back of front gauge cover bright silver to help reflect the light everywhere. I will post a picture later of my gauge cluster.

Second on painting the housing and reflector plate. I did just the reflector plate on mine with rattle can chrome and it was a huge difference.
